Deskripsi

Translation within mitochondria is carried out by specialized mitoribosomes and translational factors. Here the authors describe cryo-EM structures of the human mitochondrial translation elongation factor G1 in complex with human mitoribosomes, revealing distinct mechanism that include conformational changes at the polypeptide exit tunnel.
